Condolence: Carmel Elementary School will not be the same without Cedric. He always had a smile, a laugh, and a story.
I worked with him for 16 years. He always took care of me and the others at the school. He made sure our heaters were working and if they weren't, he took care of the problem immediately and wouldn't go home until the problem was resolved. I'll miss hearing with a wave and a smile, "I'll take care of it. No problem."
He talked often about his family. He loved you all very much. I'm so sorry for your loss. He made a huge impact in many lives.

Condolence: So hard to write this . Cedric was a very close to me . Soft hearted and tough at the time. He went right to the point and you knew what was on his mind . I cook at CES and Cedric was my greeter in the morning .He would sing Good Morning to me. He would help me and I would help him getting the gym ready for breakfast for the children. I have seen him buy shoes for kids, help the teachers and me with anything we needed .He would sing and dance and mostly he liked to stir thing up lol. He would open his wallet up for any need .He took pride in his work and was a hard worker and wanted everyone to do the same. The last day he worked He did a doudle , his hours and someone elses hours. He would listen to us we were part of his family. seems like I know his whole family. Keith, Iam glad you were there for him that day he passed . He would tell how close you were to each other. He would have been there for you ..the granddaughters He was so proud , the last few weeks he told me that they were doing well and He said they were making it on their own , this made him happy to see...He told me about phone calls with son in Kentucky and Talking to Sharon in Tx. He was one of the last old hunter and fishermen. the stories He would tell !! and we heard them many many times in 15 years of working together ...I told him he could tape them and make a lot of money ,I told him I would record him !, He said " I won't talk "!!!! haha ! I did get one Recording of him , He didn't know I did it, I would like to send it to you some how .... Cedric was a good man and he will be greatly missed ....So sorry for your loss and ours also . sending my love and prayers to the whole family .

Condolence: Prayers of support go out to Cedric's family. Your all so lucky to have had Cedric in your life. He was a wonderful man with heart the size of a mountain. I worked in the kitchen and he would come in every morning with a "Good Morning Lady" and the ever present twinkle in his eye. Always willing to share a fish story or a hunting story. He knew I had elderly parents. And if he knew I had been to visit over the weekend he always asked about them and how they were doing. Never having met the people before, but it was his caring nature that shined through. I can't say enough about Cedric. He will be missed and I dearly hope he's hunting that big one in the sky right now.

Condolence: My prayers and thoughts go out to all who loved Cedric...and there are so many whose lives he touched each day. Each of us at Carmel Elementary had our own special memories but our conversations often began with a twinkle in his eye as he told the latest fishing or hunting story.
I'll miss that wonderful light and his special ways of caring for us all.

Condolence: Mr. Ryder will be missed at Carmel Elementary. He would great me with Good morning Lady. During the winter he would often turn my space heater on so my room would be warmer when I arrived. I am very sorry for your loss.

Condolence From: Megan Gondek
Condolence: Cedric will be greatly missed at Carmel. He always had the lights on and the heat ready for school. He always had something positive to say.
He always greeted us with Well Hello Lady! During the summer he was there early cleaning the school. He once said he just couldn't stop working, because when you are alone it would be too lonely. I also want to say that " Dacia and Taila he spoke so highly of you. He was so proud of your accomplishments." It will be different not to see him in the morning. I have seen him for over 15 years. My heart goes out to his family. God Bless!
